The  families definitely help to choose what you&#8217;d want to work with if you  are looking for a learning style test. I&#8217;d prefer a style test that  acknowledges the dynamic nature of <strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">preferences<\/span><\/strong>. It may depend on the  situation and what you want to learn what your <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>preferences <\/strong><\/span>are. And I  don&#8217;t believe in the auditory\/visual\/kinesthetic learner difference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I  still think the tests are helpful for learners to become self-aware.  You can use it as a starting point to reflect about yourself and think  for instance about your pitfalls and strengths as facilitator. Or as a  learner- what activities work for you? Do you thrive on certain ways of  learning? How to strengthen this? The downside is of course that you fill  in the tests yourself (rubbish in- rubbish out!), so some feedback from  others may be needed too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">From DSC:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">I like how Joitske mentioned the word <strong><em>preferences <\/em><\/strong>a lot. With all the disagreement whether learning styles exist or not, I do believe people prefer to absorb\/learn the required materials in certain formats. Certain manners of taking information in are more enjoyable, easier, or to me, more efficient. I can learn the information most of the ways it might be presented, but I <em><strong>prefer <\/strong><\/em>visuals&#8230;not all text, as an example. This idea is closely related to developing a love of learning (or conversely, a hatred towards learning).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So many learning style tests, so little time&#8230; &#8212; from Lasagna and Chips by Joitske Hulsebosch Excerpt (emphasis DSC): I&#8217;m amazed that there are so many different learning style theories and tests!
